A Week On The Wrist: The Breguet Classique Chonométrie

- Here's the thing. When most watch folks think of the best and brightest in high-end watchmaking today, we most often mention names like Patek Philippe, A. Lange & Söhne, F.P. Journe, Audemars Piguet, and Vacheron Constantin. For some strange reason, the name Breguet doesn't usually make an appearance. Why? It's hard to say, because Breguet, at least the historical brand, is absolutely the most important in all of watchmaking. But is Breguet of today the rightful heir to the brand that Abraham-Louis built, or is it simply another name chosen by a group of savvy investors from the headstone of a Swiss graveyard? This watch, the Breguet Classique Chronométrie 7727 answers this question - and resolutely. Breguet is here to play, and produce absolutely fascinating watches today. Let's get into what I mean.

that 10Hz font would look great on my radio, how did they left this pass on the design meetings
EXACTLY.
Every time he says a watch is responsibly priced expect it to be in the $10,000.00 range. When he says inexpensive expect $5,000 and below; when he says expensive just forget it.
40,000 Swiss Francs is $43,500 US dollars. So the price of an Audi A5 basically.
To me... there is something irresistible in Breguet watches. Case, hands, guilloche dial... And now, above all of that, ultra modern technology in this Classique Chronométrie 7727 model ! I simply love it !
Everything is perfect, except the "10 Hz" font.
You are right. It is tacky and ruins it.
Tavish M Agreed, I just cannot imagine how this was discussed and agreed in a design meeting.
I actually weirdly love it... it’s hilarious.
This is nowhere near my style, nor will it ever be, but deary me what a beautiful art piece this is! All of the technology, methods, craftsmanship that's been used to make this watch are absolutely and utterly marvelous!
Ben nails it here. This is a brilliant watch in all respects. Ben neglected to mention one hugely important benefit of the magnetic pivots. When he invented the tourbillon, patented in 1801, Abraham-Louis Breguet identified friction differences in various positions as a source of rate errors. The tourbillon addressed that by rotating the key components, going through fast and slow positions. The characteristics of the magnetic pivot address this source of rate errors, as friction does not vary with vertical positions. That leads to greater precision.
At 40,000 CHF ($44,033 USD) it is “affordable” (Ben’s word) for owners of large yachts!
Breguet have a "special thing" than all other luxury brand doesn't have ... and I love it.
Love the watch but why put that giant “10hz” logo on there? It’s not a stereo or a piece of electronic.
Not my cup of tea...elegant but quite big....But so breguet!!! Nice review! Waiting for the next TalkingWatches guys!!!!!!!
+peleti027 really? i mean 41mm isn't that big, doesn't it? i have a aqua terra 42mm and it's perfect! for 40'000.- i would choose MANY other watches, that's the point.
+rado19901 this is not a tool watch! :-) i think 36/38mm would be perfect
+peleti027 hmmm, i think for ladies is it a good size, doesn't it? 40'000.- you get soooo many great watches, uuu that' s my dream:-)
+peleti027 But chronometers tend to be bigger :). In the 40-50mm size
@@rado19901 All above 39 is to much, especially on a dress watch.
Wow that's a beautiful watch. I also find the watch has an excellent size at 41mm with all those complications. One of the most unique watches I've seen!
+Philip A Winged have you seen a squale? cdn.makeagif.com/media/1-22-2016/hyTTb0.gif
Affordably priced.. It's $45K on ebay wtf
For what it is. Something you will never understand.
Never buy a watch on Ebay! Chrono24 is the one you want.
Lovely piece
would you consider making a little one minute video with the sound of ticking of the Breguet 7727 recorded professionally?
Could you imagine Hodinkee having this watch for 'A Week on the Wrist' now...
Who needs WatchTime magazine nowadays. 👍
This is truly amazing. Rolex is too hyped... Breguet is much more interesting and quality horological marvel.
Hey hodinkee love your videos. I just saw this watch in store, it is beautiful.
the dial looks like George Daniels which I like, but power reserve is huge, and kind of stupid complications, where as george daniels had legitimate complications. It's like if you just want complications like Daniels whatch have, but for some reason don't want to get little bit serous then why not do like omega speedmaster with power reserve meter?
It really bothers me how you don't use your Mac with natural scrolling. Is that weird?
Jaraad Hassim hahaha I do the same as him.
I often go to Apple stores to try the new Macs and Macbooks and the 1st thing I do is switch the scrolling option😂
I guess many customers get pissed afterwards.
38mm would be great
Breguet isn't a resurrected brand like Blancpain. it has changed hands, but only from the Breguet family to Chaumet and then swatch or smh as it was then.
Do the hi power magnets have an effect on other parts of the watch, or are they just too small for that to happen?
+Pasquale Franze I believe the other parts are made from materials that aren't affected by magnets.
Chonométrie needs an "R". ;-)
the back looks better than the dial.... nevertheless beautiful beautiful watch!
10Hz on the dial that is ugly it makes it a Quartz watch. That is stupid.
i love this watch
You're missing an "r" in the word "Chronometrie" in the title.
What kind of speed talking are we listening to? ;)
10 HZ but is still way behind the Seiko Spring drive
Not a mechanical watch
⌚See Video It Good Loove Thank You Big
Hate the lugs but love the rest
SQUALE WEEK ON THE WRIST -- HAHAHA UTTER GARBAGE!!!!!! ALL HAIL ARCHIE LUXURY!!!
+Vulcher Canty THAT"S RIGHT, FUCKAH!!!!! No mid tier garbage... Archie the Guv'Nor!
I want to see Breguet 5377 7787 and 5177
Too large.
It's huge to the point of being tacky. Watch companies are failing to diversify.
It´s not. Its a mens watch not for women or boys. Get over it.
@@blablupp5669 Idiot! - "Real men didn't wear men-watches before 2010! They all were gay!" - Idiot!
for me, as soon as I heard 41mm, I am out.
Breguet is run by people with no common sense. They automatically eliminate billions of people in Asia with this huge size. It's ridiculous. The never bothered to notice that the 33-36 mm range is timeless for those who are wealthy often have slender wrists because they take care of themselves.
Tavish M Wristsize is genetic but ok
@@JM-gu3tx Complete BS, Just because you are a little whimp doesnt mean that there is demand on a man´s watch in 33 mm, thats just rubbish. Maybe when youre grown up you can wear real watches.
affordable what planet his he on ...
I think he's talking about the grey market, Because they are a lot more affordable there
Archie says Breguet has terrible resale value...
Morris Nell Archie is gay!!!!!!
All the watches unfortunately have terrible resell value except some Pateks and some Rolexes. I recently bought 2014 ALS Datograph Perpetual for 55,000 EUR (2018 retail price in Germany is 121.400,- EUR incl. German 19% VAT). 45% from retail, 3.5 years old watch in mint condition.

Tavish M Also I don’t think there’s exactly “billions of people” in Asia that could afford a Breguet. Maybe .05% of the people in Asia, considering the average income in most Asian countries
30K for a watch? smh
innovative but not so beautiful
